Final Scholarships

I'm guessing we have 3 schollies left - or somewhere around that number. So how do we use those last three.....

Here's my guess/hopes.....

Get 3 of these 5 and i would be very excited about this class.
My final three schollies in a dream world would come from these five...

I wouldn't be disappointed with that at all. I would add the QB Tettleton to that list. I really liked his videos. Although the staff may hold off on a QB and go after a better one next year.

I want Lang, Pratt, and Marry. Whether we get them is another thread

I definitely think you should add Dearco Nolan and Doak Raulston to that list. I think we are at 21 right now so we'd have 4 more to give out (IIRC).

I believe we have 6 more spots open. We have 21 commits so far but 2 of them are early signees so I think we can use them towards last years recruiting class. That puts as at 19.

I would like to see:

QB
Lang
Marry, Mars
2 DE's

Like women's underwear.

Unless a new one has committed in the past 12 hours, this is what we should have:

Joshua Bellamy---------- Rivals 3*------Scout 3*-------WR
Beau Blankenship------- Rivals 3*------Scout 3*--------RB
Deon Broomfield------- Rivals 2*------Scout 2*---------S
Princeton Jackson------ Rivals 2*------Scout 2*---------OLB
Donnie Jennert--------- Rivals 3*------Scout 3*--------WR
A.J. Klein-------------- Rivals 3*------Scout 3*--------OLB/MLB
Jake Knott------------- Rivals 2*------Scout 1*--------OLB
Josh Lenz-------------- Rivals 2*------Scout 2*--------WR
Kyle Lichtenberg------- Rivals 3*------Scout 2*--------OT
Taylor Martin---------- Rivals 3* ------Scout 2*---------DE
Brandon Mims----------Rivals 0*------No Record------Ath
Aaron Moore-----------Rivals 3*------Scout 2*--------OT
Jeremy Reeves--------- Rivals 2*------Scout 2*---------CB
Darius Reynolds------- Rivals 4*------Scout 3*--------Ath
Willie Scott------------ Rivals 0*------ Scout 1*--------OLB/TE
David Sims------------ Rivals 2*------Scout 4*--------S
Zack Spears----------- Rivals 2*------No Record-----OT
Jacques Washington--- Rivals 2*-------Scout 2*--------CB
Jansen Watson-------- Rivals 2*-------Scout 2*---------S
James White---------- Rivals 3*------Scout 3*--------RB
Walter Woods-------- Rivals 2*-------Scout 1*--------DT

That's 21 which gives us 4 left, and one of these supposedly decommitted but is expected to recommit so that's why I left him on the list. So that's 5 scholarships left plus, if I understand correctly, we can actually use two of next years scholarships which would give us at most 7. Here is the break down of positions we have so far:

4 OLB
3 WR
3 OT
3 S
2 RB
2 Ath (one will likely play WR, unknown what position the other will play- most likely on D)
2 CB
1 DE
1 DT

It was interesting that i saw one of our recruits thats listed as an OLB Willie Scott is being recruited as a DE - sort of like Roosevelt Meggitt.....hope thats true, redshirt him, get a bit more size on him and then capitalize on his 4.6 speed - can you say speed rushing end!!!!!

The good thing about Scott is his head coach played in the NFL for about 10 years with the Redskins, Browns and one other team (Kenard Lang). I can definitely see this guy becoming a DE ala Maggitt. Obviously we have yet to see how Maggitt can play, but hopefully Scott will work out!!

As for remaining scholarships. We need a QB, DL, LB, and either a DL/LB/S for the last one. If we get Mike Lang I won't be too upset. I see Lenz being something other than a WR, so Lang would just fill that void!!

Also keep in mind that Joshua Bellamy is currently a soft verbal and is still looking around. So if he decides to go elsewhere, which I hope he doesn't, we'd have his schollie back up for grabs.

I also think Donnie Jennert will convert to a TE, although having a nice sized receiver is never a bad thing in my eyes.

I don't know about anyone else but I've been pretty impressed with what Rhoads has done in a very short period. Can't wait to see what kind of class he can put together with a whole year to work with.

I don't see Jennert as having the frame to put on TE kind of weight... He looked like a rail on his visit...

I agree with you big time. He's had about a month to do what he's done thus far which is impressive. The caliber of athletes he's attracting seem to fit what we need to turn this ship around. I just hope they can live up to the expectations we set for them.

Here's to a solid class come signing day and many more and BETTER classes to come!
